Garneau destruction nears

by Peter Michalyshyn

Students’ Council cautiously
endorsed a North Garneau stu-
dent housing plan at its meeting

_ Tuesday night.

The “tentative proposal,”
dubbed plan “G,” would: see
housing built in a ‘horse-shoe’
shape along 87 Avenue, 110 Street,
and the biock bordered by 90
Avenue and Saskatchewan Drive.

All but 13 of 85 houses now
standing on those sites would be
destroyed, with land inside the
‘horse-shoe’ left for future
academic use.

Councillors were skeptical
about the presentation of the plan
by Gail Brown, Chairperson of the
Steering Committee for Garneau
Student Housing. _

Commerce rep Phil Soper
said the interior assessment of
homes in North Garneau had
been done by telephone; architects

looked inside just three houses for
reference, he said.

“They would ask Ray
Bolduc (the maintenance super-
visor for North Garneau) about
the interior conditions of specific
houses,” Soper said.

“He (Bolduc) said himself he
hadn't been in some of the houses
for over a year,” said Soper.

Lambvcr and Vaitkunas also
did. an exterior audit of North
Garneau, noting architectural
value as well as general condition;
they even counted all the trees in
the neighborhood. :

Soper said he wanted a more
thorough interior assessment of
homes in the area to see if they ~
couldr’t be renovated, but Brown
says that would take too long.

“We can’t slow it down (the
student housing proposal) to get
that kind of information,’ she
said.

Gay? Out of

my classroom

* WINNIPEG (CUP) — A Univer-

Oy

sity of Winnipeg collegiate stu-
dent was recently asked to leave
the room during a film studies
class because the teacher “didn’t
want a homosexual in the room.”

Dave Dueck, the teacher, said
he didn’t want the other students
in the class to associate the gay
student, Greg Cymenko, with the
guest lecturer.

Cymenko, who is head of the
University of Winnipeg Gay

The Dean was concerned
that the incident could “be blown
out of by pe Our school is
one of the finest inthe nation. We
have always tried to understand
and co-operate with different
groups. I wouldn’t want anything
like this to taint what is a very
good institution.”

Vanderstoel said he would
immediately investigate the com-
plaint of Cymenko.

“Clearly we're not going to
keep all the houses of value,” she
said.

Council also objected to a
planned 500 car parkade in the
Southeast corner of North Gar-
neau, particularly after Brown
admitted it would not be used for
neighborhood residents.

“We're going to mow down ©

homes and put in.a parking lot
they (residents) won't even be
able to use. I think it’s just
ridiculous,” Soper said.

SU President Nolan Astley
noted that the university already
has blueprints to build a parkade
on a present parking lot directly
south of the Fine Arts Building.

But Brown said the North
Garneau parkade proposal is a
result of the university's policy to

put parking on the campus
periphery.
“Clearly there's direction

given to us on these things,” she
said, adding she personally dislik-

ed the idea of the parkadein North |

Garneau.

The parkade would rise a half
level above ground, with tennis
courts built on top of it. The low
profile matches the proposal’s
attempt to preserve the integrity

of North Garneau, according to —

Brown. :

“We were very concerned
about maintaining the character
of (North) Garneau,” Brown said;
referring to such housing features
as balcomes, bay windows and
street entrances to multi-unit
three-story buildings.

If this proposal is accepted by
the Facilities Planning Com-
mittee and the Board of Gover-
nors (B of G) Building Com-
mittee. (and ultimately B of G
itself), the buildings could be
finished by early June 1983, in

and was later approached’ by
‘Dueck in the cafeteria.

Dueck then told Cymenko he
was not wanted in the class
because he was a homosexual.
“I was trying to protect the
guest lecturer,’ Dueck later said.
“T feel that if Greg Cymenko, who
is gay, sat beside the lecturer, the

class might think the lecturer was ~

also a homosexual. I didn’t think it
would be fair to the lecturer.”

Dueck also said, “I don’t
mind a person being gay. I feel
sorry for them because I know
they are not going to be as happy
and as satisfied as I am.”

_ Dueck said he is not against
homosexuals. “But I do think they
(homosexuals) encourage other’
people to take the gay habit.”

Cymenko has protested to
the Dean of Collegiate, John
Vanderstoel. The Dean assured
Cymenko that “if discrimination

- took place, appropriate action will

be taken. I'll have to discuss it with
Dueck in depth.” -

Vanderstoel said Dueck is a
staunch Mennonite and thus is not
in favor of propogating homosex-
uality.

Vanderstoel added - that
Dueck’s religious beliefs would be
taken- into account when the
matter is discussed with Dueck.
Vanderstoel said the collegiate’s
policy on religion has been
‘pasically neutral’ and commented,
“Perhaps the teacher involved
didn’t understand that he was
being discriminatory.”

Letters have been sent to all
residents affected by the proposal
warning them they may be evicted
at the end of the university year in
April, Brown said.

by Mike Walker

U of A staff and students continue to face
risks from exposure to dangerous drugs and
chemicals, while the university drags its feet
on reform of its safety operation, according to
the Non-Academic Staff Association
(NASA).

Last week NASA quit the President's
Advisory Committee on Occupational Health
and Safety to protest the administration's
reluctance to appoint a professional Health
and Safety Director with broad powers to
correct unsafe conditions in labs and storage
areas.

“Dangerous chemicals~4nd drugs are a
major problem on this campus,” said NASA
general manager George Walker last week.
“That's the worst time bomb around here. We
dont know and nobody knows how many

carcinogens there are around here, for exam- -

ple.”

“We want an independent Occupational
Health and Safety division, with full authority
to force compliance with regulations,” said
NASA research officer Ian Fraser. “...he
wouldn’t be overruled by a dean or a
department chairman.”

NASA has been lobbying the President's
Committee for some time to set up sucha
division. They have not done so yet.

“If there's resistance to giving safety a
higher priority, then the committee can’t doa
thing,” said Fraser. “...and there’s always
resistance.

“The first time this came up was six years
ago.” -

Health and Safety officials cannot make
recommendations, but they are not,binding;

deans or department chairmen can overrule
them.

University officials this week discounted
the seriousness of NASA’s complaints.

“NASA’s a little bit frustrated,’ said
committee chairman Wes Randall. University
vice-president Lorne Leitch agreed. “I think
they're frustrated,” he said.

Neither was willing to admit that the
problem is serious.

“I’m not convinced there are dangerous
conditions we are unaware of,” Leitch said.

Nor was either convinced that a strong
and independent Health and Safety Division
was necessary.

“It depends on the extent of authority of
this individual (the director), said Leitch.
“You can’t have a czar... There has to be some
kind of check and balance mechanisin.”

Randall agreed: “If an individual were
appointed without an understanding of how
the university community operates, then that
would be a disappointing appointment.

Someone who wanted to extend the current
legislation to the limit might possibly raise
hostility in the university community...
whereas an individual who would work along
and seek a consensus would find that he or she
would be more successful. :

“With the right person, I would be in
favor of the position.”

But Fraser was unimpressed with this.

“Someone who won't step on too many
toes is what he’s talking about,” he said.
“We've been saying we don’t. want a diplomat,
we want a safety man. Any time you give
someone the power to change things, you're
going to have conflict.” .

_ University president Myer Horowitz said

this week that he has asked Leitch to review
the matter and report to him.

__ “I’m concerned that they felt they had to
withdraw from the committee. I hope they're

wrong (about problems with university
officials)... they may be right.”

Godiva editors scolded

by Geoff McMaster

Students’ Council has voted in favor of a
motion to censure the editorial board of the’
Godiva.

The censure will involve sending a letter
of condemnation to those responsible for the
publication of pornographic material that
appeared in the paper during Engineering
Week. ;

Paul Cumming, who proposed the

motion, said at Tuesday's meeting “The
Students’ Union has a responsibility over
university publications” and that it should do
something to prevent a similar occurrence in
the future. ‘

In a debate before the final vote,
councillors from the engineering faculty
expressed their opposition to the motiori. |

Plague of ‘superbunnies’

(ZNS) — And you thought “The Creature that Ate New York” was
just a movie.

The British Magazine Undercurrents reports that giant rabbits
are plaguing the British nuclear industry.

“These dreaded creatures — immune to poison, as big as hares,
and bold as brass — are running amok at British Nuclear Fuels Ltd’s
Capenhurst enrichment plant and at the adjacent electricity council
research center.”

The superbunnies are munching on the grass at the disposal site
and seem to be thriving on it, the magazine says. “The only way of
getting rid of them is to get ina rifle-toting assassin to carry out a cull
every year or two.

First nuclear reactor

SASKATOON (CUP) — The Saskatchewan government has moved
another step closer to aquiring the province's first nuclear reactor,
according to the University of Saskatchewan student newspaper the
Sheaf.

- The Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) has given approval
to a reactor location at the northern end of the University of
Saskachewan campus.

However, the final licence to operate the reactor is still pending
approval according to W.H. Husband, an official of the
Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC).

One of the purposes of the reactor, according to the SRC, will be
to detect radioactivity in uranium ore samples on a commercial basis.

The first “client” for the reactor will be the Cluff Lake Mining
Company, which is 80 percent owned by the giant European multi-
national AMOK and 20 percent owned by the Saskatchewan
government. The company is currently mining uranium on a large
scale in Northern Saskatchewan and workers there have tecently .
accused the mining operators of running roughshod over health and
safety regulations.

Before the reactor can be installed the SRC says it must conform
to certain restrictions—one of which is strict security plans. Most
times, the reactor will be under AECL supervision, but when it is not,
the U of S security office will monitor radiation levels.

and by whom. That's the situation
faced by Chilean students and

professors according to Patricio

Lanfranco, President of the
Cultural Association of the Un-
iversity of Chile (ACU).

“Only one point of view is
permitted in Chile today,” he said

to an audience of sixty in SUB _

theatre yesterday at noon.

“The junta is trying to look
good internationally, but it isn’t
respecting human rights in any
way, shape, or form,” Lanfranco
said, referring toGeneral Augusto
Pinochet's eight year old military
regime.

For example, four student
leaders were sent into exile for
organizing a tribute to the founder
of the first Chilean university.
Another student leader, Patricia
Torres,- has been constantly
persecuted by the police and faces
the continual danger of either
exile or outright expulsion, Lan-

the universities to — private

Chile, he said. ;

“Many of the faculties most
important to social development
of the country will just not be
there because they are not money
faculties,’ Lanfranco said.

And Canadian private
business is directly involved in
Chile. The Bank of Nova Scotia
has lent $14.1 million directly to
the junta, and Noranda Mines is
looking for backers for a $350
million investment plan in Chile.

“The governments of the
United States and Canada haven't
appeared to be commited to the
junta, but the corporations and the
banks have done a lot of investing.
It only helps to shore up a regime
that is very oppressive,’ Lanfran-
co said.

Before the 1973 coup, univer-
sities operated on three basic
principles of . participation,

autonomy and pluralism. These.

concepts broke down when
Pinochet's junta seized power, he
said. ;

Canada Student Loans retain
their interest-free status until six
months after the student ceases
being a full-time student. If the
loan is not paid off by then,

“We have moved back literal-

The ACU was formed in
1977 by engineering students in
an effort to preserve cultural
heritage and freedom of expres-
sion. Since then they have actively
protested the oppresive terrorist
policies of the junta.

Lanfranco doesn’t. rule out
the possibility of resorting to
violence in the fight against the
regime.

“Chileans today aren’t going
to discount any route that will lead
to the liberation of their country.”

Lanfranco said that the
harder Chileans work, ‘the
shorter will be the time between
the Chile today and the Chile that
will once again be in the hands of
the people tommorrow.”

that students, like most people,

‘EDITORIAL —

U.S. mental block

Finally, the whole sorry debacle of the American hostages

in Iran is over. This, thankfully, also signals an end to the

biased, ethnocentric and distorted news reporting coming

from American and Canadian networks and newspapers.

I feel sorry, not because of the plight of the hostages, but
because the American people are no closer now than they ever
were to understanding the roots of the resentment and even
hatred inspired by their presence in any part of the world.

Instead, they blithely skip along, assuming their moral
superiority and demonstrating their righteous arrogance and
indignation at anyone who questions the suitability of the
American Way of Life for their country. They elect presidents,
not because they support human rights (the alleged
cornerstone of American democracy) but because they support
“friends,” like the Shah in Iran, the dictators in Chile and El
Salvador and the puppets in Vietnam.

When Iran deposed the Shah and took the hostages there
was at least the hope that Americans would gain some insight
into the reasons behind the discontent sweeping across the
Third World, and the Middle East in particular. Iranians of all
classes supported the revolution, directly or tacitly, because
they saw it-as the necessary first step in ridding themselves of
the vise-like control exercised over their society and culture by
imposed values and alien traditions. ~ :

The upheavals in Iran were not and are not the exclusive
workings of a pack of wild-eyed, bearded fanatics. Instead, the
mullahs. represent the only stable element in Iranian society,
and it was to these symbols of tradition that people turned
wholeheartedly for rescue from the ravages of rapid moder-

nization,

More specifically, what the Shah and most other U.S:
backed Third World rulers wanted was the facade of
Westernization without the values and traditions that go with
it. Row upon row of shiny fighter planes, modern shopping
malls and air conditioned high rises may be nice, but they do
absolutely nothing to alleviate the suffering of the mass of
peasants in most nations. These trappings simply entrench
the autocratic elites, allowing them to exploit their own
people. ;

It is these trampled masses who know the USS. only
perceives their land as a means to their own self-serving ends.
These include maintaining the status quo power structure to
facilitate the exploitation of people and’ resources, and
fulfulling so-called “strategic needs.” They see clearly that they
are treated as nothing more than pawns, and they don’t like it.

So they take the only action possible; they strike out at the
visible symbols of American power and influence — they
chant slogans, they plant bombs, and they take hostages.

Of course, violence against foreigners cannot be
condoned. However, the response of the militant students was
aot an irrational anomaly, but the predictable result of
American policy. Unless Americans shed their childlike
naivete and acknowledge the forces of change in the world,
they will find themselves more and more often in situations
similar to the one they have just escaped from.

Can't you hear the music?

It never fails. Every year I
have to either write or phone in to
complain of your unbelievable
léthargy in covering the events
sponsored by our own university
artistic community.

Some assume that
Gateway is a university paper
conceived and run by the people of
this institution: It has been
believed, (wrongly, too), that the
Gateway is a comprehensive
media vehicle for the reporting of
the various events on campus.

The Department ot Music
does in fact exist and has been
responsible for some very fine
concerts in just about every
musical field which the Western
Hemisphere. offers. Symphony,
chamber music, rock ’n’ roll, big
and small band jazz,C & W, R &B,
electronic, folk; all these and from
every period known from early
medieval” to the present are to be
heard: The Department is met
often with good critical acclaim —
not here it seems.

I look in the Gateway and see
pages of basketball, Golden Bears,
coach interviews and the like, but
no mention of some of the best
music played in town — right here
on campus. Either you don’t carea
damn about the musical life here
or you don’t know anything about
music. Your painful lack of
coverage — even bad coverage —
leads me to believe both cases. It
must be that you wouldn’t know
music even if it came up and bit
you on the ass.

If the Gateway can claim or
ever hope to be the paper of the
university. community, then its
primary responsibility is not the
review of the Good Brothers at
SUB, or whatever, but for the
many gigs the Music Department
works so hard to present to its in-
the-dark university fellows.

sonable girls are preferred. In our
classrooms rowdy laughter is
more likely than cries for revolu-

Unsurprisingly, then,
Engineering Week is an event for
common, ordinary people. It’s for

people who like boisterous, bawdy

entertainment. It’s for people who
like to have a good time. In this it
is a quite unremarkable-event.
Yet, engineers have recently
been called arrogant, repulsive,

community.

As a newspaper committed wanti-sexism and equal rights for
women, it’s embarrassing to admit it, but this year we have a

serious shortage of women on staff.

However, we're

determined to solve this problem before it becomes entrenched.
So if you’re a female student interested in writing news, sports,
arts or features, taking photos or doing layout, drop in soon -

we'll be glad to see you.

P.S. This doesn’t mean we aren’t happy to get more male staff

From the bottom up

Engineering Week is sexist,
but it is because the event is so
well deere that it gets at-
tacked. The poster-tearing ac-
tivists on this campus are obvious-
ly too lazy to seek out and destroy
subtle, ever-present discrimina-
tion.

The -participants in
Engineering Week acknowledge
what sexism there is and’ no one
feels pressured into or downgrad-
ed by what they have chosen to do.
Yet, there are situations where
people have no choice in the
matter, such as sexual harassment,
rape; or work conditions.

Sexist ideas exist in the
media, schools, everywhere. We
have been brought up believing
them; they are acceptable. If the
article in the Godiva had been
racist rather than sexist, it would
have been front page news from

here to Toronto and legal action

would have been severe.

The article was a mistake, but
what led to its being written
anywhere are the inherent at-
titudes of society. They go un-
noticed until a spectacular
appearance in something like the
Godiva. aes

Banning Engineering Week

would create defensiveness and.

hostility. It would be treating the
symptoms of a ed entrenched
disease, the roots of which go back
to classical times. The solution is
not token activism, but change —
from the bottom up.

Until the accepted forms of:

sexism, that would be too radical
to call sexism, are eradicated,
nothing will change. Armchair

activists who must have their:
-causes thrust into their faces will

never succeed in improving the
position of people in society. It
makes one wonder if- they really
want to.

As I was reading the article
entitled “The Experts’Favorites of
1980” I could not help becoming
considerably indignant towards
the attitude of the writers (or so-
called “experts”). I feel the off-
the-cuff remarks of Messrs.
Kosowan and Brown concerning
certain Edmonton radio stations
and staff, and topics such as
“biggest jerks and embarassments
of the year” are quite out of line.

As one’s own choice of music
is highly personal, expressions of

page 5/

Take your article and...

such a nature are inconsequential
and immediately render the ac-
companying material somewhat
incredible. I, as a reader, have to
trust the author's sole use of
expertise in writing such an
article, and upon failure to do so
(as these gentlemen have done) I
would seriously question the so-
called “expert” nametag attached
to their positions. Thus, I find this
article most useful at my backdoor,
underneath my snowboots.

FULLY ESCORTED

The world is about to be assailed witha particularly nauseating
dees of American jingoism: an inauguration and the return of
the hostages will be too much provocation for some people to resist.

Already the flags are waving and the cries of “nuke the
ayatollah” aré sounding. And Reagan is promising “an era of
national renewal.” é

What concerns me about this apparent resurgence of
nationalism in the United States is embodied in Reagan’s statement;
what precisely is Reagan planning to renew? What if he means
America’s erstwhile place in world affairs? If this is indeed his,
meaning, El Salvador could very well be Vietnam, 1980s style.

It is conventional wisdom to believe that after the U.S.’s
withdrawal from Vietnam, and itsembroilment in the Watergate
scandals, the nation went through a period of intense self-doubt and
questioning — a sort of national existential delimma. Whether or
‘not this was the case, any hesitancy the American people may have
felt over the wholesale interference in other nations’ affairs has been
dispelled by the hostage-taking.

Americans are apparently ready to take up the white man’s
burden again, and this readiness carries with it serious threats to
world peace and other nations’ integrity. It isn’t logical to blame this
militarism on Reagan, either; it was quite apparent during Carter’s
term, although he refused to embody it in the way Reagan
undoubtedly will.

It is not patriotism to which I am objecting. Patriotism is not
militarism, nor is it nationalism. The belief that one’s own country

fs ig

(based on 4 persons sharing room).:

and culture are intrinsically valuable and worth defending is
relatively harmless. An American citizen's feeling that his is a great
country, and the best place in the world to live, may seem odd to
someone who doesn’t share the belief, but it doesn’t interfere with
the sceptic at all. 4

Patriotism and rationalism mayco-exist in a single brain..
Nationalism and rationalism cannot. I hasten to explain whatI mean
by nationalism — it is the desire to inflict one’s way of life and culture
on innocent bystanders,’ such as Vietnamese people. As George
Orwell pointed out, one can be nationalistic about countries or
ideology. It is an attitude of mind which precludes reason and
encourages closed-mindedness. : as

And it is an attitude of mind Reagan’s election and the release of

the hostages will exacerbate in many Americans.

Another said in reference to
the Gateway, “My personal feel-
iing is... this Student Council better
iclean its own house before run-
ining around cleaning everyone
else’s houses.”

Ninette Gironella, who final-
ly voted in favor of the motion
during a roll call vote, was
originally opposed to it, claiming
the issue had been adequately
“dragged out’.

“The Godiva on the whole I
don’t see as sexist or por-
nographic,” she said, adding that
‘she viewed the warning on the
front page of the issue as sufficient
to justify publication of the
material within it.

SU president Nolan Astley,
concerned that the Students’

Union “has an image to keep up,”

asked ESS president Kelly Scott
what kind of discipline would be
initiated by the engineering facul-
ty itself.

Scott replied, “The in-
dividuals will be disciplined by
ourselves and within the faculty.”
He went on, however,to explain
that he did not have any real
control over the editorial board of
the Godiva but would either
change or remove the paper if the
editors continued to behave in an
irresponsible manner.

Only four of the 27 coun-
cillors finally voted against the
motion, three of whom were
engineering students.

pelled her name) was a third year

POINTED STICKS:
Perfect Youth
(Quintessence QLP002)

Rock ‘n’ Roll used to be a lot of fun.
It's nice to see that some of the young
people today have rediscovered this, and
such a thing really comes through on the
debut album recorded by Vancouver's
Pointed Sticks. I say this realizing full
well how pretentious that last sentence
sounds - the fact is a surprising number of
people in their late twenties neither
understand nor appreciate rock ‘n’ roll as
it’s played in the 80s. This is a pity, as the
so-called ‘New Wave’ is really nothing
more than a return to the sixties.

Perfect Youth (Quintessence
QLP002) is a real giggle-a lot of fun to
listen to. The musical richness coming
from an essentially spare arrangement is
part of that legacy ee earlier times.
The lyrics have more snap to them,
though, and this serves the band well.

There are no bad songs on Perfect
Youth and several quite good ones.
Never does the music fall into- that
common trap - the sin of repetitiv ness

‘Nick Jones, who pulls most ot the song-
writing weight, has crafted some good
pop songs, and has had the sense to keep
things relatively simple, not taking
himself too seriously. He even shows
(though he may be reluctant to accept the
compliment) a good grasp of the theory
of The Hook.

_ At times, though, Jones’ whiny tenor
grates on the nerves. The album’s best
moments come with the harmonies.
Likewise the band sounds best when it
plays in tight ensemble; there are no
musical egos being stroked here.

The emergence of bands such as The
Sticks and Doug and the Slugs from the
depths of the Vancouver Pub n’ Club
scene bodes well (we hope) for the
Canadian recording scene, and forces the
Central Establishment to pay more

attention to Vancouver as a musical and _

recording centre. The independent
attitude of the West Coast permeates
Perfect Youth; in turn this record sends
breath of something fresh into Canadian
music.

BLONDIE:
Autoamerican
- (Chrysalis CHE 1290)

Turn the album on, and suddenly
you're listening to what could be a new
sound track for Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.
By the time Exropa is over, you're
convinced that Autoamerican (Chrysalis
CHE 1290) is not even a typical po
record, much less a typical Blondie record.

In some ways, Europa is a miniature
of the album as a whole. It’s bold and

different, and takes Blondie in entirely
new directions. It's also cold and
mechanical, and, ultimately, impersonal.
And through it all, Deborah Harry-glides
serenely - at a time when serenity is the -
last thing the song, the band, or the album
need.

Harry's passionless performance is
what brings the curtain down on
Autoamerican. The album thrusts in’so
many different directions that, without a
unifying central factor, it might as well be
the 101 Strings doing a pastiche of the
Beatles. Debby Harry should be the
unifying factor; unfortunately, she isn’t.

Credit is certainly deserved for the
choice of material. The songs range from
the urban Sturm and. Drang of Europa
through the calypso of The Tide is High
to the Cole Porteresque Here’s Looking at
You. An air of jaded sophistication is just
right for the latter tune; unfortunately,
that’s all Harry has to offer, and the air
very quickly becomes stale.

Autoamerican isa significant depar-
ture for Blondie, just as Remain in Light
was for the Talking Heads. Untortunate-
ly, instead of loosening up, as did the
Heads, Blondie gives a tighter perfor-
mance. It’s almost as if the band as an ©
entity had doubts about the album from
the start.

STYX
Paradise Theatre
(A & M SP-3719)

The members of Styx take
themselves and their music vety serious-
ly. I suppose somebody has to. I myself
find it hard to listen to this Chicago band
without becoming either hysterical or
nauseous.

Styx has just released a new album
entitled Paradise Theatre (A : M SP-
3719). It is apparently a concept album,
built up around the 30 year history of the
Chicago moviehouse of the same name.
Just what the concept is remains unclear,
though. Is the Paradise Theatre really
America? Are we then the audience,
watching the decline of a super-power?
Or is it all just an excuse for some fancy

cover-art?

Whatever the answer (or whatever
the question, for that matter), you can bet
that it'll be delivered in the typical Styx
style - which is to say, the typical
Supertramp style. Why peole continue to
put up with Dennis DeYoung’s Plastic
Apocalypse is beyond me - especially
when the original is so accessible and (if
you avoid Paris) so much better.

DeYoung displays little originality
or wit in his compositions - only a little
talent for mouthing platitudes. How can
you take seriously a man describing his
woman's putting up with numerous
failings and indescretions, who sums it all
up by saying “I guess that’s the way it
goes, the way that it goes.” Further, all
the production wizardry in the world (and

there is some decent work here) can’t
cover for a sound that is fundamentally
hollow at ‘the base.

Sell me to Barbara Streisand. Force
me to attempt to have an intelligent
conversation with a group of Barry
Manilow fans. Take my Kodachrome
away. Anything, only please don’t make
me sit through another Styx album. I beg
you.

NEXT WEEK: Okay, so I didn’t get
Steeleye Span in this time. It just needs a
bit more work, that’s all. I can only listen
to British pseudo-folk music for so long
before I break out in hives. Maybe I'll
have the review done by next week. Is
that all right?

Engineering Week | |
Sexism, aggression and oppression

SAbs!

This is the second part of the post-
Engineering Week interviews. Britt
Griffin is a first year U of A law student
and a volunteer at the Rape Crisis Centre.
by Nina Miller
Gateway: What do you think of the
article that was printed in the Godtva?
Griffin: The article is definitely child
pornography. I think it reflects a parallel.
trend in society of escalating sex exploita-
tion and violence against women and sex
exploitation and violence against
children. It’s all on the same continuum.
Gateway: Do you think that somebody
with the remotest sense of responsibility
would have printed that article unless
they thought it reflected to some degree
the general tone of Engineering Week
and would therefore be acceptable?
Griffin: First of all, to reply to the line
that it got in there by mistake, I don’t
think anyone is going to believe that. The
article was not all that inconsistent as it
very much follows from the kinds of
things engineers have done in the past. I
was not suprised - it was shocking in that
the content was really offensive but. it
wasn't like it came out of nowhere.
Gateway: What is your definition of'
sexism?
Griffin: I would say sexism reflects a
male ideology which suggests women are

inferior and deserving of oppression.. It -

sets up two very.distinct and polarized
roles, men being the aggressive, domi-
nant hunter mentality and women being
the female passive and submissive
mentality. I think sexism very much
engenders the notion of misogyny, which
is the hatred of women.

Gateway: What do you think it means to

call somebody a sexist?
Griffin: I guess I use the term sexist in
two ways; one is to describe people who

_ express an indifference, a lack of concern

and an ignorance of the issues concerning
women. But sexism on a more profound
level engenders an entire attitude and
ideology about the way the world should
be and how the relationship between men
and women should be. I think when I
would call someone sexist, and would do
so with a very serious tone, what I would
mean is that they manifest hatred towards
women or towards the things women
represent. I think what the ideology of
sexism does is, sets women in a role
defined by men, forces women into that
role, and then holds women in contempt
for it.. For example, women are taught
‘from a very young age to be attractive.

They have to wear high heels, tight
clothes, or whatever happens to be the
‘style, and yet often you see men ridiculing
‘women for wearing high heels and not
being able to walk in them or for wearing
‘too much makeup. And so women are
always caught in a double bind. What
men do is say, “women have to be a
certain way, since we run the:world and
can make them be that way,.afid then we
hold them in contempt for it.” Stemming
from this is man’s perception of his
sexuality. I think women have an easier
time defining their sexuality because

there are two very obvious things that

make us women; we can have children
and we menstruate. Men can often only
identify their sexuality in reference to
women and therefore women become
mirror images of how men _ judge
themselves. If women don't do it
properly men get mad and I think this is
partly what causes sexism. Men want
women to reflect back to them a favorable
view of what men should be like and what
men should be like is dictated by an
ideology which says men should be tough

“and in control and sexually aggressive.

Gateway: Do you think parts of
Engineering Week are sexist? If so, why?
Sculptures?

Griffin; | think the one thing I noticed

about some of the ice sculptures is the use _

of sex to portray situations which are
humiliating and disgusting. It seems to
me we do that in our language as well. All
our swear words and language of violence
and aggression is sexual. The same thing
happens in Engineering Week; sex is
aged: as the channel to express a lot of

different kinds of things. They might be
commenting on some political situation
but the ice sculpture that was torn down
shows that they use sex to express it. The
message there was sexuality in an
ultimately humiliating, embarrasing, and
disgusting situation.

Gateway: The songs?

Griffin: Well, after reading the Godiva
song the thing that hit me was the talk
about her “white hide.“ I thought, “of
course,” hunters go out and catch animals
and take their hide and that very much
sums up the whole mentality of these
activities. Men getting together, having
very boisterous boyish activities centered
around this very static, passive, beautiful
woman. It is very primitive in that it is
like men going out on the hunt and
having all these games together and

Griffin: I would suggest that kicklines
represent standard tradition of women
being there to entertain men and to be
beautiful. For some women involved I’m
sure there is the positive feedback of male
approval for their female bodies but I
don’t know what else could be displayed
there except a women’s body. Andi think
that is a really fragmented approach to
females.

Gateway: Queen contest?

Griffin: The Queen contest is very
interesting. The Queen contest, and all
the other kinds of beauty contests like
that play very interesting roles in dealing
with women and how they relate to each
other. What happens is men say, “if you
want our approval you have to compete
against each other.” It sets up a division
among women. It not only divides

Hordes of people crowd to watch Engineering Week activities in CAB

coming back and having women as the
trophy. The “white hide” really makes
clear women is a trophy and so does the
fact that the engineering club gets points
for their Queen.

. Gateway: The Godiva paper?

Griffin: Well, I don’t think there is any
doubt about the factthat the Godiva
is sexist. It reflects, again, a continuing
degree of sexism. The article on child
molesting was as far as they were willing

to push it this time around. But] think a:

lot of the jokes and cartoons are really
offensive. They are standard tacky, anti-
women Playboy-type fare that are dis-
missed as good fun but ultimately hold
women in ridicule. The bodies of women
are charicatures of what women really
look like or represent what men would
like them to look like.

women who compete against each other
but separates different kinds of women,
so that the princesses are really isolated
from the women who are feminists.
There is never a cohesiveness of women
allowed. Whereas, Engineering Week
represents a very archetypal example of
male bonding, but not allowed for the
women, who are kept apart by the male
bodyguards.

Gateway: Do you favor equal rights for
women?

Griffin: Equal rights is not enough: We
have to begin to-understand that being a
feminist or being liberated doesn’t mean
being like a man. We do not merely want
the opportunities men have. We do not
want to share male privilege and partake
of a system that is ultimately bound to
oppress somebody. The aim of feminism,
for me, is a new value system, one not

centered on aggression, competition or
ego. It is not enough for women to
struggle merely to become like the men
who formerly oppressed them. ©
Gateway: Why do you think the ratio of |
women in engineering is not increasing at
the same rate as it is in other faculties (for
example medicine and law)?
Griffin: I think in part, at least on the
surface, the Engineering Faculty is the
last bastion of male dominance. And for
_ that reason it may be unappealing to
women. Also, the reason so many women
especially went into the field of law was to
instigate social change in relation to.
women and that was one of the best ways
to do it. Medicine, in part, has also played
that role, because there are some fun-
damental medical and women in health
issues that could be solved by women
entering the medical field.’
Gateway: Do you think the general
attitude of the engineering faculty
towards women is conducive to in-
creasing. the ratio of women in the
faculty? ”
Griffin:No, I don’t. It would sure keep
me out if I was interested in going into
engineering... I think their attitude
suggests that women in the faculty havea
very token stature and it is a stature that is
in a very precarious position. Because, for
a woman in engineering it must be very
difficult to be in a faculty with that many
men. The pressure must be incredible. I
think it is very brave of women to go
through it but I just hope that in the
future enough women will come into the
faculty to make it worth womens while to
take a stand. I think right now women in
the faculty might very well be in too much
jeopardy to take a stand because the peer
pressure would be enormous.
Gateway: Do you think the current
attitudes of engineers towards women are
perpetuating the.role of women as a
second class citizen?
Griffin: Oh, for sure, and not only as
second class citizens, but as the mere
objects of male sexual attention.
Gateway: Why do you think so many
people outside the faculty are upset by
Engineering Week.?
Griffin: I think Engineering Week
presents a very visible example of sexism.
Sexism is so pervasive and so widespread
that it’s difficult to deal/with on a day to
day basis. It becomes very tiring, very
overwhelming. But if you all of a sudden
have this thing dropped in your lap, this
huge enormous chaotic week - it becomes
very easy to single it out and take
objection to it. Also, because it happens on
a university campus, and it’s been said, ~
universities are supposed to be an
_atmosphere where there is progessive
thought and some sort of cultural
awareness, this just flies in the face of
that. It’s very much of anembarrassment
to people involved with the university
community that there are still people
around who have attitudes toward
women that are just reprehensible. .

Bears and Dinosaurs

fight: for first place

The Calgary Dinosaurs make
their first appearance of the
season in Varsity Rink this
weekend to battle the Golden
Bears for the top spot in the
Canada West standings. After
play last weekend the two teams
are tied for first with Calgary
having one game in hand.

In four meetings this year, all
in Calgary, the Bears and the
Dinosaurs have each won twice.
Alberta took both its games by 6-2

scores while Calgary won 6-5 and
7-6,both in overtime.

Calgary always seems to play
better in Varsity Rink than they
do at home. Last year they won
four of six games on the Bears’
home ice — including two straight
wins in the Canada West playoffs.
The biggest problem with the
Dinosaurs in games against the
Bears this year has been consisten-
cy. They have trouble playing two
good games back to back.

Hockey gals split
in NALHL play -

by Sandy Gusnowski
The U of A Women’s Hockey
Team has returned for the second
half of their season with a
tremendous amount of
enthusiasm and determination.
Asa result of their consistent

performance in the first half of:

the year, the team managed to
secure a position in Division B’ in
the Northern Alberta Ladies
Hockey League. The U of A
Women’s Hockey Team are confi-
dent their intense efforts and
eagerness will provide the in-

spiration necessary for their
advancement into the atte
scheduled for early March.

The U of A Women’s Team
played their first game this term,
Sunday, January 11 at Donnan
Shell Arena. The U of A opened
up by scoring two goals in the first
period. Gwen Krook scored early
in the first and leading team
scorer Jo Hutzul quickly followed
_ suit with another goal. The team

. continued pressing in the second
period for a,third and final goal as
Jo Hutzul scored her second of the
night. The women put forth an
earnest effort but relinquished
their lead early in the third period
to lose to the Chestnuts by a final
score of 5 - 3. :

The team got their plays
clicking Friday at Varsity Arena.
They bounced back from their loss
to shut-out Stony Plain 4 - 0. Tracy
David ignited the scoring fuse for
the U of A by scoring her second
goal of the year late in the first
period. Gwen Krook went on to
score early in the second for the
only goal of the period. The U of A
continued to apply pressure early
in the third with a goal by Marie

Hughes. They concluded with a

fourth and final goal late in the

third by defenseman Carolyn

Jones, her first goal of the year.
Shelly Vetesse made her first

appearance in net Friday for the U

ot A. She began her goalie career
rather impressively with the shut-
out victory. The team has manag-
ed two shut-outs this year, the first
by Bonnie Kaplan.

The U of A Women’s Hockey
Team play two away games this
weekend. Saturday at 8:00 p.m.

against the Chestnuts at
Crestwood Arena and on Sunday
at 5:15-p.m. against Spruce Grove
at Calahoo Arena.

With UBC out of the running
— they've won just twice in
thirteen starts — a real race has
developed in Canada West hockey
for the first time in many years.
Several years back the regular
season was just a warm-up for the
Bears on their way to the
Nationals.

Since the race is so close this
year, the Bears may not even know
how the playoff situation stands
before they head to Spain for the
Winter Universiade.
Saskatchewan and Calgary play on
the February 27-28 weekend in
the final series of the year, five
days after the Bears depart, and
that may decide who makes the
top two and who finishes first.

On the subject of Spain,
seven countries have entered the
hockey competition. Besides
Canada, teams from Finland,
Japan, Bulgaria, West Germany,
Korea, and Spain will compete.
Only one, Finland, has any reputa-
tion as a hockey power.

LDS retains title in IM basketball

by Garnet DuGray

Some things just never
change. The same holds true with
the past couple’ of men’s in-
tramural Division I basketball
championships. This year’s con-
test was much similar to that of a
year ago as the LDS. squad
retained their title in a hard
fought 40-34 win over Law. L.DS.
led 18-11 at the half as Bob McCue
led all scorers with 12 points while
Yorny of Law chipped in 11 for
the losers. In Division II action,
Law got some revenge as they
downed the Wrecking Crew 35-
24. Leading scorers were not
available at this time. Finally, in
Division III, the Wrecking Crew
came up with a big win over 9th
Mac as they trounced their
residence rivals by a 35-13 score
after leading 21-2 at the half. Dale
Hawken of the Crew led all
scorers with 11 points while Al
Gatenby of 9th Mac hooped 7
oints for the losers

Keeping with men’s basket-
ball, the 3-on-3 competition
wraps up tonight (Thursday) in
the main gym. This is your last
chance to come and see some fine
basketball. In men’s bowling, the
times for the Saturday/Sunday
bowl-off this Super Bowl
weekend, January 24 and 25, will
be posted on the men’s info board
or check with your unit manager.

If the Drillers can play
indoors soccer then so can the
men’s intramurals. But ours is a
different game. No boards to
collect rebounds off of anda larger
playing - surface down at the
Kinsmen fieldhouse. The double
elimination tourney will be run in
the evenings anywhere from 7 -
11:30 p.m. with the exception of
Sunday, February 1, when the
games will be played from 8 a.m. -
12 noon. The tourney begins on
Monday, January 26, and runs
until the third week of February. A

_ final date has not yet been decided
upon.

Another popular men’s
event that runs in the fieldhouse
as well is the field hockey clinic
and tourney. The tourney runs
from .8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. on
Saturday, January 31, with a 15
minute clinic preceding each
team’s first game. The men’s
curling bonspiel will be run in a
double-knockout style from’ Mon-
day, February 2
February 8 in the SUB rink with
the exception of Thursday. The
weeknight matches will run
between 5 - 11 p.m. while the
weekend contests are slated for 9
a.m. - 5 p.m. Deadline for entries
into field hockey and curling are
by one p.m. on Tuesday, January
27 in the men’s office. As well that
date is the entry deadline for the
men’s volleyball league. This
Leas volleyball will be preceded

a seeding tournament on

Skiers 1m

by Karl-Ann Quinlan

In spite of tough opposition
the Bears ski team is achieving
good results. In the sharply
competitive Alberta Ski Circus the
Bears’ performance has been
improving with each event.

For example, last weekend at ‘a
Paskapoo‘A’ race, the Bears’ Mark
Stein skiied to a 7th place Saturday
and a 5th Sunday. In addition,
Magic Johnstone reached a 12th

Sunday. The event featured Alber-
ta’s finest racers and included °

recent Pontiac Cup winner Gord
Perry.

_ Needless to say Stein’s com-
ment that the race was “incredibly
close” seems justified because the
six racers finishing behind Stein

in Sunday's first heat were
separated by merely .7 seconds.
Stein declares, “This is the
most competitive racing I’ve seen
in Alberta,” and “You can’t make
big errors or you're out.” Stein's
runs Sunday involved “no major
mistakes, just little stuff’ and he

credited Bears coach Bruce Wilson .

for diagnosing small errors that
did occur. -

in the Main Gym. The women’s
squash tourney got under way last
evening (Wednesday) with some
excellent competition and wraps
up next Wednesday, January 28.
The women are also into the
curling fun as their bonspiel will

run this Saturday, January 24,
from 1 - 6 p.m. in the SUB rink.
Deadline for this funspiel is today,
Thursday, January 22 by 2 p.m. in’
the women’s office. So hurry out
there and put together a foursome
for this Saturday afternoon.

Last weekend the intramural
department sponsored a squash
clinic. Twenty-eight players from
beginner to intermediate showed
up to learn the intricacies of the
game.

roving

The importance of correcting .

small errors belies the fact four or

five people could win any event:
Notably these top racers are
generally the older ones who have
the emotional stability to be
consistent. Racing demands a
great deal of concentration and
this pressure often proves too
much for younger competitors.
Stein himself states, “Emotionally
I put everything I had in it.... I did
as best as I can do it”. Bess

‘In all, the Bears are begin-
ning to put training and racing
together and will likely peak late
in February. Magic Johnstone's
performance is sharpening and
slalom ace Ted Redmond will
return to the circuit for the.
January 30 Alberta Cup event.
When Redmond returns to the
slopes he will, as usual, vie with
Stein for top rankings.

Optimistically Stein hopes
for a win at the Alberta Cup event
to be held at Mt. Norquay. Other
Bears in the Alberta Cup events,
Rigger Matishak and Karl
Wilberg; have recently improved
their rankings and will also be
aiming for good results.
